  Wilma E. Waithe PhD, RD, CD/N


Dr. Wilma Waithe is an enthusiastic student of Truth with over 15 years experience leading and facilitating discussions in basic truth principles. Still, to hear Wilma tell it, her recent reconnection with the Center for Spiritual Living and Science of Mind teachings, is about self-renewal: a lifetime of opportunity to continue the fascinating exploration of what life and the inner vitalizing energy is really all about. 


Wilma received her undergraduate degree in Home Economics and Dietetics from Brooklyn College and her Masters in Food and Nutrition from New York University. She earned her doctorate in Education at the State University of New York at Albany where she developed a deep interest in research on transformative learning and relational dynamics. She is a member of several professional organizations and advisory boards. Wilma enjoys reading (she is particularly fond of books by ‘New Thought’ authors), traveling, and photography.

Out of the depths of unbroken Infinity arose the Question, Who am I? And to that Question there is only one Answer - I am God!

 

God is Infinite; and His shadow, too, is infinite.  Reality is Infinite in its Oneness; Illusion is infinite in its manyness. The one Question arising from the Oneness of the Infinite wanders through an infinite maze of answers which are distorted echoes of Itself resounding from the hollow forms of infinite nothingness.

He is scheduled to be an ordained minister in Metaphysical Science this fall and will receive his doctorate in the Spring of 2012.

   Dr. Sandesh Naik 

Sandesh was born and raised in an Indian Liberal Hindu Brahmin Family. His original spiritual influence came from his Grand father who was a prominent lawyer and a Theosophist, his Aunti was  a sanyasin(monk) and  had an ashram in Alandi, near Mumbai. In spite of  being surrounded by several guru's, swami's and yogis  he was always questioning and challenging many of the spiritual doctrines. Part of the answer to yogic abilities(Walking in Fire/lying on bed of thorns) he found in learning scientific hypnosis as taught by Dr.Milton Erickson. After arriving in the US he was attracted by the New Thought movement (Religious Science and Unity) and found great comfort in many of their principles and practices. He also regularly participates in Mindfulness Meditation as taught in Buddhist traditions.


 Joe Guice  


J
oe is a medium,psychic, healer and spiritual teacher. He grew up in Lynn, Ma. Graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy in 1967. Embarked on a career in sales starting with IBM and Smith Corona Marchant. His career included a number of years in sales management. A promotion to management was the cause of his move to Albany.

A healthy skepticism prevented investigating the belief in the spiritual or paranormal.  In the mid seventies, reading and a degree of open-mindedness led to a desire to explore the potential of consciousness. The result was the founding of an organization called The Foundation for Spiritual Evolution, which was committed to helping others discover the amazing potential that exists in all of us. He has just founded a new group called The Kingdom Of The Spirit. The organization is dedicated to the service and education of all who desire spiritual growth.
